Reform and the Corn Laws in a Free Press Era
The piece traces the shift in British politics as Public Opinion forces Peel and the Conservative Party to abandon Protection. It notes Cabinet defections, the end of the old Tory faction, and the Reform Bill’s impact on the constitution, with focus on the Corn Laws debate and the Trade Bill’s passage in a single session. It references Lords, the Queen’s influence, and figures like Lord Sandon, Lord Francis Egerton, Lord Dalhousie, Huskisson, and Duke of Richmond.
